Guess what a wally I am

Guess what - I've been looking for a publisher all this time, because having given up my agent I thought the publisher had gone along with her, only to find I had a publisher all along. Severn House whom I've been with for years. They wanted my new novel and I have now sent it to them. So fingers crossed.
Have been doing my new novel Illusions of Happiness this past year, PLUS having to retype 248 pages (close type) of a previous book - 2nd in a trilogy - for ebooks. First one is is already out there BUTTERFLY SUMMERS.the second one is Autumn Skies, and the third still to go on is Winter Wine - a trilogy about a London oyster restaurant and the family who own it.
